Sakho told L'Equipe: "Steven is an example. Also, he often sends me small text messages like after my first match of the season at Bordeaux, in the Europa League, with the captain armband.
"He texted me to congratulate me, he said: ‘Continue to fight like that, I’m proud of you.’
"It’s always nice to receive such a message from a great player."
Sakho had struggled for playing time at the start of the season before being given his starting place in a back three alongside Martin Skrtel and Emre Can but his spell on the sidelines is something that irked the centre-back.
"Let’s say that during the short period when I was not playing, I was like a little caged lion who was not fed for a while."
We look forward to seeing how well the new Liverpool manager feeds Mr Sakho. If it's Jurgen Klopp, there'll be plenty of munch available while we don't think Carlo Ancelotti is the kind of fella to leave any food go spare.Explore more on these topics:
